Description

Optimization read method and system by means of the radio frequency communication transponder of passive resonant circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used to the method and system field of reading the RF radio frequency transponder and the structure of this radio frequency transponder.
More particularly, the present invention relates to improve reading and/or communicating by letter between the reader that is easy to the transponder that surrounded by a plurality of transponders and provides for this purpose.
More particularly, what the present invention is directed to is the application of this method and system aspect contactless the reading of electronic travel certificate, and described electronic travel certificate for example is E-Passport and the E-VISA of those transponder forms that fit together.Especially, this certificate and visa all meet ICAO " International Civil Aviation Organization " standard and ISO/IEC 14443 standards.
Background technology
Travel document such as E-Passport and/or E-VISA is made of the certificate made of paper that records the information of being correlated with the holder of described certificate thereon and the Contactless electronic chip that also comprises the protected information relevant with identical holder.
In case the travel document of E-Passport type must comprise that also open question just appears in a plurality of E-VISAs.
In fact, because the employed variable principle of this Contactless electronic chip, so when the number of described additional clause E-VISA increases, and along with their number increases, just make read synchronously more and more difficult, in case number is greater than four or five visas, with regard to so that even can not carry out its operation.
Be noted that about the electronic travel certificate is required described certificate can comprise the Contactless electronic visa of maximum number, they are simultaneously operated when described Contactless electronic visa is subject to magnetic fields from contactless reader.Described reader and travel document must meet ISO/IEC 14443 standards.
The standard of one or more Contactless electronic visas requires on the one hand each visa to consume as few as possible from the magnetic field of contactless reader and utilizes as few as possible described magnetic field to interact, and also requires on the other hand to make during the response phase from described visa to described reader each Contactless electronic visa of described changes of magnetic field to meet the employed standard of ISO/IEC 14443 standards.
Described so that can between contactless product, implement the mechanism of anti-collision principle by the no-contact that ISO/IEC 14443 standards produce.This principle provides logic mechanism, and it is so that be subject to same magnetic field at a plurality of remaining contactless product and do the time spent and can retrieve contactless product in them.The desired condition of the proper operation of this principle is that reader is provided at all products that exist in the field of its generation and detects all these products.
More particularly, contactless anti-collision mechanism is subject to consumption that the summation by a plurality of contactless transponders causes and the restriction of magnetic loading.This restriction can among the E-Passport or outside the number of the E-VISA that reads.
In addition, ISO/IEC 14443 standards comprise the standard of the contactless product of operation in the magnetic field range that requires between 1.5A/m and 7.5A/m.This standard can operate from the magnetic field that is at least 1.5A/m contactless product.
Therefore, standard compliant reader can a magnetic field that just produce 1.5A/m when having the travel document that is fit to this standard.ISO/IEC 14443 standards also require the minimum radius of the response of described contactless product, so that described reader can detect described contactless product.
This minimum radius effective value should be 30/H at least 1,2(or 18.6mV), wherein H is the amplitude in described magnetic field.Such value is that the amplitude of the amplitude modulation(PAM) in the reader magnetic field of the 13.56MHz sideband that produce define at the speed place of its subcarrier (being rated at 847Khz) because of frequency by described contactless product.
If follow these conditions, the contact reader of then following described standard should be able to receive the data from contactless chip.
Prior art is so that can follow all such conditions when a small amount of E-VISA of maximum number is positioned in the travel document.Now, with regard to the curve of transponder response (from the Fig. 3 that gets according to retrieval the certificate N1088 of official of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17/WG8), it seems that 5 visas are maximal values.
The inventor notices that if use more than five standard compliant contactless products of difference, when they were grouped in the identical travel document, because electromagnetic coupled together, assembly no longer met ISO/IEC 14443 standards.The contactless reader that is fit to no longer can be supplied them or detect them.
The inventor thinks that this number about transponder is that 5 restriction is the shortcoming of E-Passport development potentially, and also is generally to read no matter the shortcoming of a plurality of transponders that the application of considering is located together.
Therefore, the inventor considers usually to improve the contactless communication of the transponder of the some that is used for the firm power reader.
About so that can improve the known prior art of the communication between described transponder and the reader, known patent FR 2777141 or US 6172608.
Such patent proposes to have the second oscillatory circuit, and it can be tuned to the frequency near (or equaling) electromagnetic field, thereby the modulated energy of the electromagnetic field of being carried out by transponder is detected better by the antenna of described reader.Such document is more specifically instructed the utilization of passive resonant circuit, in order to increase the communication distance between described reader and the described transponder when keeping proper operation, and does not increase the emissive power of described reader.
On the other hand, known references FR2812482-A1, its use closed common antenna with amplify from described reader be positioned in same support body (support) on the communicating by letter of a plurality of transponders.In the multiplicity of the transponder on the supporting mass corresponding to the problem that increases storer (storage memory) available on the described supporting mass.Because manufacturing cost, described transponder has the size dimension (format) that more reduces than passive antenna.This document does not have instruction for the optimization of the number of the readability transponder of constant electromagnetic field power.
In addition, as disclosed in those skilled in the art's the of the prior art existing document, the layout of the closed passive common antenna that is associated with a plurality of transponders looks that than the sort of inoperable passive antenna has the more size of reduction.

In general, in the scope of this instructions, transponder means the identification electronic circuit that any use detects or uses the communication of electromagnetic field.More particularly, relating to electromagnetic field and this electromagnetic field comprises the coil that is connected to capacitor and can find therein integrated circuit or any other electron component.
More particularly, transponder comprises the electronic component such as the integrated circuit (IC) chip that is connected to antenna.They can be inserted in the supporting mass of any type, or are associated with the supporting mass of any type.For example, they can have the electronic tag of stickiness, the shape of contactless card; They can be hidden among front cover, thin slice or any other thing etc. of encapsulation, certificate.
Transponder is used in the various economic fields, for example bank's (stored value card), communication, transportation, identity (E-Passport, ID card).About identity more particularly, known to identifying the people with the radio communication of the contactless portable electric subobject of RFID type.
Usually, reader means in the scope of emittor/receiver equipment description below and is equipped with an antenna that generates an electromagnetic field at given frequency place.The antenna of described equipment is also so that can modulation electric magnetic field and the variation of measuring elect magnetic field.Reader antenna is comprised of one or more coils usually.
The reader responder system is operated in more or less complicated mode according to the type of employed transponder.General principle of operation is with given frequency emission electromagnetic field.When a transponder when elect magnetic field moves, it is provided electromagnetic field and reacts.The reaction of described transponder causes the variation of the electromagnetic field that reader detects.
For the simplest system, for example described transponder is comprised of a coil and a capacitor, and assembly is the oscillatory circuit that is tuned to the frequency of electromagnetic field.The existence of transponder in this makes oscillatory circuit resonance and causes this change that can be detected by reader.This very simple system is used as the anti-theft device of department store at present.
About more complicated system, transponder for example comprises the integrated circuit that is connected to coil, and this coil and this integrated circuit form tuning resonant circuit in addition.Transponder provides the integrated circuit in modulation electric magnetic field so that reader detects its existence in the existence of elect magnetic field.Then, by the modulation of electromagnetic field, can between transponder and reader, engage in the dialogue.
In Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, reading system allows the improvement of reading to a plurality of transponder 13-16 by the magnetic coupling of implementing transponder and passive resonant circuit 17 at during read.
Reading system 12 comprises: be hidden in the supporting mass 19 send-receive antenna 18 and at the passive resonant circuit 17 of flat bearing body 20 operation of for example paper, described passive resonant circuit 17 comprises open antenna 21, and its end is connected to the plate 22,23 of capacitor.Described antenna is actually the two-sided equipment of being made by the silk screen that is printed with conductive ink, and the inside surface of capacitor plate 24 is with respect to two the terminal plates 22,23 that are connected to solenoid.
Passive electric circuit is positioned in the above-mentioned example of reader antenna, for example is placed or is bonded on the supporting mass plane near the radio-frequency antenna of reader.
According to an embodiment, the passive antenna at the during read resonant circuit is associated with at least one transponder antenna at least.Association mean with they the position physical connection together, have or do not have the magnetic coupling therebetween of common supporting mass in order to obtain.
According to a step of this method, passive resonant circuit is tuned to resonance frequency, so as by the resonance frequency that produces with the related of at least one transponder antenna corresponding to one of frequency of the transmitted sideband of the transponder that will be read.
Advantage is to be conducive to the variation that described reader detects the field that is caused by transponder when described transponder response.
Preferably, transponder is designed or disposes, so as more particularly by draw still less magnetic field and/or by still less disturb other transponder antenna make each transponder with passive resonant circuit related in can ignore.For this purpose, to compare with the antenna of passive resonant circuit, transponder has the size dimension of reduction.In this example, transponder is that comparing with antenna of will being read has undersized one or more transponder 13-16.For example, the size dimension of the reduction of transponder is less than 1/10 ° of the size dimension of passive resonant circuit antenna, even 1/5 °.
Advantage is to allow to provide transponder as much as possible with homologous field density.
Therefore, in the superincumbent example, because as long as on the resonance frequency that is produced by association not on the appreciable impact of little transponder, this is related just can be left in the basket, make resonant circuit be tuned to corresponding to the frequency of one of frequency of the transmitted sideband of the transponder that will be read.
Transmitted sideband is by being subject to inquiring that any other transponder of magnetic fields produces, and at the response duration of transponder, described transponder is more particularly in the described inquiry of amplitude modulation magnetic field.
For other modulation principle, more particularly phase-modulation and the frequency modulation (PFM) of the communication between reader and the transponder, sideband exists.
In this example, from the wave spectrum angle, by corresponding to the 847Khz modulation signal of the subcarrier that is produced by described transponder to the amplitude modulation(PAM) of sine wave signal with 13.56MHz frequency produce have be positioned at 13.56MHz+/-847KHz or lay respectively at 12.71MHz and the signal of two sidebands of 14.4MHz.
Except those top sidebands, but other sideband also is produced and has less energy.
For the detection that is conducive to as much as possible described reader and reach minimum level by the reverse modulation (retro-modulated) of ISO/IEC 14443 standard definitions, the resonance frequency of passive resonant circuit is selected at the 14.4MHz place, i.e. the 13.56MHz+847KHz place.
Subsequently other associated instance will be described.
According to another embodiment, at least a size dimension F of transponder antenna and having corresponding to the performance of this size dimension or a transponder response of feature is determined, and subsequently to obtain disposing passive resonant circuit corresponding to the performance of this size dimension of each transponder or the mode of feature.
Therefore, passive antenna automatically has been limited among the regional Z (Fig. 6) between two rectangles 25,26 that center each other, and be defined with the ID1 size dimension of describing in ISO/IEC 14443 standards, these two rectangles are respectively 81mm * 49mm and 64mm * 34mm.
Advantage is can obtain response from little transponder when permission is read a plurality of transponders with constant inquiry field, and described little transponder has the feature identical with large transponder.
This is so that can satisfy the standard of IGAO, in order to allow reading the transponder of more number more, and the travel document 27 (Fig. 7) of E-Passport or E-VISA is manufactured, and travel document 27 comprises the passive antenna in the front cover of passport more particularly (or the passive resonant circuit 17 that is comprised of one or more conductive channels).
The travel document of so making can be accepted one or more transponder 13-16, and the part that each transponder takies the local field of being inducted by the passive resonant circuit of the field action that is subject to reader adds the part in the field that the near surface of one or more Anneta module 13-16 is radiated by the antenna of described reader.
Fig. 8 and 9 illustrates be used to the system that reads travel document.As mentioned above, this system comprises and reads supporting mass 19, its comprise be connected to for the treatment of and the device 28 of the signal that receives of operation transmit and receive antenna 18.
At this, resonant circuit 17 is fixed on and reads below the supporting mass.Advantage is that the surface level at reader has the public circuit for all passports, and in the example of Fig. 7, each certificate comprises this resonant circuit, so there is no need resonant circuit fully on the read level face.
In this example, meet the regulation of ICAO, the amplitude of the magnetic field H of reader is confirmed as being greater than or equal to the value of 1.5A/m, and the response amplitude of transponder is greater than or equal to 30/H 1,2Value.
Travel document for example comprises large-sized transponder 3 of ID1 and a plurality of transponder 13-16 of the reduced size such as E-VISA.
Anneta module 13-16 not necessarily is positioned on the identical plane, the plane of locating with passive antenna.
In Fig. 8, passive resonant circuit 17 is positioned in outside the travel document.Be associated with reading system by being fixed on to read below the supporting mass.
Yet passive resonant circuit can be positioned close to and read supporting mass, more particularly reads supporting mass or pastes described reading on the supporting mass near described.
Passive resonant circuit can have and more particularly utilizes bonding agent to stick on the shape of the label on the certificate.It can be integrated in the described certificate, more particularly is integrated in one of its page or front cover.
The transponder that is read (13-16,3) is in travel document 27B.In this certificate, can find transponder (so-called transponder) and large-sized transponder (so-called primary response device) of size reduction.In this case, as indicated when following Figure 10, be recommended in tuning passive resonant circuit when considering with main circuit related.
The energy of this solution and coupling balance can not compare with the equilibrium phase that obtains by the ID1 size transponder that meets ISO/IEC 14443.Therefore each Anneta module is thought to have a certain size dimension by reader respectively, and the effect itself corresponding to the magnetic field of this reader of described passive antenna is met ID1 standard for travel document.
That geometric properties passive resonant circuit and that be on the other hand Anneta module and electrical feature are all preferably corresponding to following description on the one hand.
About reader and also have testing apparatus such as those equipment of describing in the method for testing that is used for contactless product I SO/IEC 10373-6, it only is a contactless product that the travel document that comprises a plurality of E-VISAs must be considered to.
Below principle in the preferred purpose travel document that is to make passive resonant circuit be included in the E-Passport type be its result.
Passive resonant circuit must be such, so that the coupling of itself and reader causes the effect of following the contactless card that is equipped with ID1 size dimension antenna.
Its inevitable electromagnetic field being produced by reader causes low load.What this load must cause corresponding to reference PICC, the appendix D by ISO/IEC 10373-6 standard is adjusted to the load of 6V for Hmin.By the load of transponder induction corresponding to being tuned to 13.56MHz and comprising the ID1 antenna of the active component of 1.8k Ω, with and continuous voltage be less than the result of the inquiry field of 6V at the load terminal place.
This causes resonant circuit to have following geometric properties.
As mentioned above, passive antenna thereby automatically be limited among the regional Z between two rectangles 25,26 that center each other, and be defined with the ID1 size dimension of describing in ISO/IEC 14443 standards, these two rectangles are respectively 81mm * 49mm and 64mm * 34mm (Fig. 6).
For restriction is by the field of contactless reader generation with exceeding, the quality factor of passive resonant circuit automatically are restricted to the value less than 30.
The coefficient best in quality of this resonant circuit be used to satisfying above-mentioned condition is between 10 to 20.The optimum value of the quality factor of passive resonant circuit is 20.This allows being used for such as the serigraphy of using silver-colored China ink or carbon ink to have the rendering technique of the antenna of forceful electric power resistance.Because to the needs of overvoltage factor, passive resonant circuit must be comprised of antenna, described antenna is comprised of a plurality of items and is connected to capacitor.
The Anneta module that passive resonant circuit is necessary for electromagnetic coupled provides additional energy, because the coupling surface of the Anneta module of described electromagnetic coupled and reader is little, so the energy that they need to add.Passive resonant circuit must produce the additional local field that replenishes as the local field that the reader of supply Anneta module is sent.
On the other hand (Figure 11), transponder 13 can be made with the form of the Anneta module that meets the chip card technology.Its Flat aerial 29 and this Flat aerial 29 that is included on the insulating supporting body 30 (dielectric film) in the plane is connected to integrated circuit (IC) chip 31.This chip can comprise or not comprise protective finish resin 32.This assembly can have the integral thickness less than 1mm.
Antenna 29 is preferably made by metal wire or copper etching, in order to have fine qualities factor.
Transponder will advantageously have for example fair-sized of the wide 15mm of long 25mm, and for example include the antenna of about 15 solenoid between 13 solenoid and 18 solenoid.The number of solenoid will depend on selected chip slightly.
Each solenoid that for example is made of copper has for example width of about 50 to 300 μ m, and the spacing between two continuous solenoid is about 50 to 200 μ m.
Still need to carry out trading off or optimization between the surperficial ratio.The surface that module antenna has is too little, for example multiply by 10mm less than 10mm, with respect to passive resonant circuit, module antenna will need point-device location, in order to allow proper operation, this proper operation can be got rid of the equipment based on the antenna of directly making in advance on the surface of chip.
On the contrary, have the module antenna that multiply by the size of 30mm greater than 30mm and will consume too many magnetic field and also will intercouple with other module with antenna, to allow the operation of a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) chip or E-VISA.
Desirable solution is that the resonance frequency of transponder equals 17MHz.
Consider the number of geometry, resonance frequency and the solenoid of transponder, the optimum number of passive resonant circuit solenoid is 4.As mentioned above, the surface of capacitor plate is also calculated in order to carry out above-mentioned frequency tuning.
In Figure 10, passive resonant circuit 17 is associated with the transponder with antenna, and the size of this antenna can be compared with the size of passive electric circuit.Its importance is that this must be considered in the frequency tuning of passive resonant circuit.
In fact, the synthetic resonance frequency of two circuit is defined by following relational expression:
fres , 2 = fres 1 + k
Wherein k is the coupling coefficient (if coupling is maximum coupling, then k equals 1) between the transponder; Fres, the 2nd, the resonance frequency that is produced by the association of two transponders with identical resonance frequency " fres ".
For example, this can be such as the transponder of the ID1 size dimension in the front cover of the E-Passport that is positioned in now prior art or one of the E-VISA of ID1 size dimension as shown in Figure 2.
Passive resonant circuit is by tuning, so that the resonance frequency that is produced by related M is corresponding to one of frequency of the transmitted sideband of the transponder that will be read.
These two elements that are associated can be grouped together among the front cover 6A of identical supporting mass, for example travel document.
Because the expansion of this principle, described association can relate to a plurality of transponders, as long as the number of transponder is given the importance that it be can not ignore.
According in the useful arrangement shown in Figure 12 and 13, each E-VISA is positioned in supporting mass 33,34, for example basically identical with the size dimension of certificate or than in a little little thin slice of the size dimension of certificate.In the application of passport, the size dimension of supporting mass is ID1 size dimension or the size dimension of point a little.Important thing is not leave selection for user when being applied to it in certificate.
This transponder supporting mass 33 must be filled in the certificate, or more particularly uses the coating of self-adhesion to be adhered on the page.
When more particularly making visa by layering, transponder 13 is positioned in the optional position in the supporting mass.This transponder 13 is located along the edge 35 on the left side in Figure 12, and it is located along the edge 36 on the right in Figure 13.Therefore, when two thin slices were applied, transponder intercoupled less together.
For this purpose, the embodiment of transponder must comprise for for example during clamping the tab laminate of transponder with described transponder at random or be positioned at lip-deep step and the device of transponder supporting mass thin slice with changing.
Therefore, when transponder was replicated in the travel document, it also distributed in mode arbitrarily for other transponder.The result is, from the viewpoint of magnetic, label is all different, even and they be applied, they also can more easily be operated.
Therefore, because the present invention can realize having the more E-VISA application of the E-VISA of more number.As mentioned above, preferred feature is so that can read the transponder that meets the ICAO standard up to 15.
Described read method can be realized anti-collision mechanism or the agreement of the known type especially described in this standard.This mechanism can be triggered by the reader treating apparatus.
According to another aspect, the invention enables and to make the electronic travel certificate.This certificate is assumed to be and comprises a plurality of transponders, described transponder meets more particularly restriction or the standard that is produced by standard (ICAO), this standard (ICAO) require transponder antenna at least one ID1 size dimension, be used for the minimum radius of the magnetic field H that reads and from the minimum radius of the response of transponder.
According to this another aspect, transponder is formed into the antenna size size that has less than the ID1 size dimension, and described transponder is arranged to the passive antenna with passive resonant circuit and capacitor and ID1 size dimension, so that the transponder of ID1 size dimension regarded described transponder as by reader.
Can comprise a plurality of transponders between a plurality of pages and these pages according to travel document of the present invention, wherein each transponder is comprised in the flat bearing body that separates with the page, but basically has the size dimension of the page of described certificate.
This certificate can easily be read by all transponders, as long as these transponders are positioned in the various diverse locations in the described supporting mass.
Therefore, feature of the present invention also is an assembly or one group of transponder, more specifically to E-VISA, each transponder is positioned in the thin slice (33,34) with size dimension larger than described size dimension, and described transponder is positioned in the thin slice (33,34) from a thin slice to the different position of another thin slice.
Although the present invention mainly describes in conjunction with electronic certificate, but it can be applied to supporting any object of the passive resonant circuit that is associated with at least one transponder, for example electronic tag, comprise the chip card of the module antenna that is associated with passive resonant circuit, the antenna of described passive resonant circuit has the size of contactless chip id 1.
This object is preferably the portable set such as chip card or mobile phone.
Passive antenna can be included in the body of chip card, more particularly the module antenna in being inserted into the standard chamber of chip card near.Also passive antenna can be integrated in the reader together with resonant circuit.
